Synopsis
In postwar Japan, the Maeda family lives in a bleak apartment and pretends to be poor during a visit from Katori, the president of their son Minoru?s company, who comes to accuse Minoru of embezzling a million yen. After he leaves, they reveal hidden luxuries. Half of the money is in the hands of Mitani, a discreet accountant who seduces men for personal gain. She escapes legal trouble and retires in comfort, leaving the men to face the consequences.
